The 2025 NBA Draft Lottery is set to take place on Monday, May 12, at 7:00 PM ET in Chicago. Fans can watch the event live on ESPN or stream it via ESPN+. We will have a Playback stream so you can watch our live reactions to it. That will be in a separate post.
Lottery Odds and Team Chances
The Utah Jazz (17–65), Washington Wizards (18–64), and Charlotte Hornets (19–63) each hold a 14.0 percent chance of securing the No. 1 overall pick. So even though the Wizards were the second worst team in the NBA in the 2024-25 season, they still will have the same odds of getting the top pick as the Jazz who “beat” them by one game.
